The separation between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is $d$ and the area of each plate is $A$. When a slab of material of dielectric constant $k$ and thickness $t$ $(t < d)$ is introduced between the plates,its capacitance becomes

  • A
    $\frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d + t(1 - \frac{1}{k})}$
  • B
    $\frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d + t(1 + \frac{1}{k})}$
  • C
    $\frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d - t(1 - \frac{1}{k})}$
  • D
    $\frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d - t(1 + \frac{1}{k})}$
